7 N+ y( u0 u# R  eBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
( C* O: j- p4 N, ^4 N' W* S5 z. s' C$ _* g! r6 ~1 G4 A- b- J$ }$ Y% I4 @* m
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

& \$ [1 F) i. E6 l5 J# Q6 `4 `$ t* j" x' E
2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.
8 C/ E' X& z6 v4 s" v' ~+ S" e
' ]8 U$ Q# A' M% f% m, k1 XMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.
